called upon Ben Wade shortly before he
died and chatted with him about his re-
markable career. He told me how, boy,
he walked across the mountains from New
England to Ohio, and understood he kept
his memory green to the day Of his death.
Shortly before he died he made remark
about Beecher which is rather interesting.
The story is told Us by leading citizen of
Jefferson, Ohio, where Wade lived aud
died, and where his sons still reside. 1t
was during one of Beecher's sommersets
upon eligious questions, and this gentle
man, a Mr.. French, brought in paper
describing Beecher's new attitude and laid
it before Wade. Wade read the paragraph,
which was pointed out to him, and was
then asked as to what he thought OF
Beecher.
He raised his hand and brought it down
upon his knee with slap as he said:
"Beecher Hang Beecherl Beecher
knocked hell out of religion, and religion
without hell is no better than pork with

Ben Wade was noted for his emphatic
expressions. He believed in calling spade
a spade, and he rather prided himself upon
the title of "Bluff Ben Wade" He had a
chance to be President at the time Lincoln
was nominated, and / have been told that
there was some talk of taking him in place
of Lincoln, but that the other delegates
were turned from him by circular which
stated that there had been insanity in Ben
Wade's family, that his health was poor,
and that it was not safe to nominate him
upon this ground. This statement have
never seen in a newspaper. and / have
never heard anything in Northern Ohio
which leads me to believe that it can have
auy truth in it.

A Murderer RespIted,

EVANSVILLE, May 10.-James McElroy,
who was convicted of the murder of John
Marta, farmer living near this city, and
Friday, May Is, hes been resplted until
July by Governor Knott. Considerable
excitement was created when the news was
received, and it is feared lynching mob
will be organized, as the general verdict is
that McElroy is guilty. Yesterday a
coloTed man surrendered himself to the
authorities and asked to be hanged instead
of McElrcy, saying that he had committed
the murder. He was promptly placed in
Jail and will no doubt be adjudged insane.
No credence is given to his story.

She Followed Her Husband to Prison.

MUNcIE, May 10.-Levi Thomas was
recently sent to the Prison North to stay
for two years, for burglary. His wife
begged the judge to allow her to accom-
pany her husband and share his imprison-

her request. She remained here until
recently, when she determined to
go to Michigan City. Having no
money she boldly set out to walk the
distance, which she finally accomplished,
titles to be admitted and incarceTated with
her husband. The officials could do moth

accordingly did. She, however, did the
next best thing and hired herself out to a
family living near the penitentiary as q
servant, and there she lives, seemingly con.
tented with an occasional brief visit to her
way ward husband.

VNcENNEs, Nay 1.-THE case OF James
A. Cunningham VS.. the Evansville and
Terre Haute Railway Company was
brought TO close to-day in the Daviess
County Court at Washington, Ind, and
the jury, which had been out all night,
returned verdict for plaintiff, awarding
him 500, 500 damages. In the summer of
1879 James A Cunningham owned and
controlled in this city the most extensive
starch works and syrup refinery in Indi-
ana. In june of the year named the es-
Enlistment took fire, plaintiff alleges,
from q spark from passing engine on the
Evansville and Terre Haute Railroad, and
instituted suit against the railway compR-
ny for 5000, 600. The case was first brought
to trial in the Knox Circuit Court and q
judgment was given for defendant. Plain
tiff appealed to the Supreme Court and
the decision of the Knox Circuit Court
was annulled. Three weeks ago the final
trial began at Washington and was con-
Guided to-day with the result as above
stated. The verdict, perhaps, gives larger
amount for damages than has ever been re-
turned in any case in the United States.
The citizens of Vincennes, while deprecat-
ing the ill-luck of the Evansville and Terre
Haute folks, rejoice with Mr.. Cunningham
over his victory, as they have been assured
that the starch works, which were the
chief enterprise of the city before they
burned, will be rebuilt.

Hezekiah Dow, purporting to come from
Haverhill, Mass, where he owned fine
property and prosperous business; the
widow of the late Isaac Cadwallader, to
whom he had become engaged through
correspondence, and a. +. Croker, real
estate operator and money Ioaner, who adj
monished the widow to bank the 800 he
had secured her on mortgage and beware
of her sutton, whom he next proceeded to
fire out of the Office with bloody nose
when he essayed to resent the insult. To-
day it proves that Crocker sized Dow up
Just right who was working the widow for
her money instead of her heart.
In response to dispatch sent to Haver-
hill, Mass, by reporter the city marshal
replied that there was no Hezeklah Dow in
business there to his knowledge, and when
Dow found that the widow had given away
the matrimonial feature of the affair. he
swore loud and deep that he came to take
her back with him as his wife, but he
would be blowed if he would do it now,
and he left for Cincinnati on the early
morning train with a through ticket to
Boston, but without from 500 to 5000 of
her money. The widow says he got over
500, but she still is not entirely shaken in
her confidence. She says that he told her
he was going to South Bend and then to
Cincinnati, where he would see if he could
not buy their tickets to Boston cheaper
than he could here, and also dress to have

relativess in the East, the fellow taking her

Freaks of Lightning.

DANvILLE, May Thames NJ. Barlow, a
substantial farmer of this county, relates
the following incident, which occurred on
his farm during the thunderstorm last
Friday:
Mr.. Barlow's son, aged twelve, and
hired man named James McClelland we're
at work in field, and when the shower
came up they sought shelter under forest
tree at the edge of the field. This was
about 4:30 D. m. A few minutes later the
tree under which they were standing was
struck by lightning, the fluid describing
a jagged spiral line along the trunk from
the top branch to the root. Just at
nightfall a Deighbor was passing the
spot and found the man and boy lying I'M
conscious under the tree. He succeeded
in arousing the man, but the boy remained
insensible, and to all outward appearance
was dead. His face was swollen aud dis
torted until he was barely recognizable. A
white froth oozed from his mouth, and it
was with great difficulty that physician,
an hour later. succeeded in bringing him
to consciousness. The man has since al
most entirely recovered, but the lad still
fingers, and is evidently injured internal
ly. When found under the tree the mans
hair was singed, and a scorched line could
be traced along his side to his right knee.
a dog was standing beside the boy under
the tree, but was not injured.
